The Walters family of Rosskin Angus Stud has declared their spring bull season a success with 35 of 39 bulls selling to a top of $18,000.

At the on-property sale last week, Will Nicholls and Deanne Baines of the Ruby Hill Partnership at Walcha purchased the top priced Angus bull.

The sought-after bull weighs 886kg and is two-years-old. Mr Nicholls, formerly of Kybeyan Station near Nimmitabel, praised the longevity and calving rate of Rosskin bulls.

“We have bought Rosskin bulls when we were at Kybeyan Station. They were good for us back then, we produced a fair number of calves that seemed to do well for us as weaners,” Mr Nicholls said.

“We still have some bulls walking around here that we purchased eight years ago from their sale and they are really sound in the feet and still look the part, that’s first hand proof of their longevity.

“So we decided we would head back down and support them again and we’re very impressed with their bulls on offer.”

Mr Nicholls and Ms Baines purchased seven bulls, all headed for Walcha. Mr Nicholls said Walcha has enjoyed a good winter and signs are promising heading into spring.

Nutrien Ag Solutions Cooma ran the sale. Nutrien congratulated the Walters on the sale, which sold to an average of $9500. Bulls went to Northern NSW and into Victoria.

The Walters were pleased to sell to Rex and Greg Tett of Cobargo who have been long term clients.

The Tetts lost almost everything in the 2019/20 bushfires. They returned this year, purchasing two bulls at $14,000 and $8,000.

The Walters thanked their clients for supporting Rosskin’s spring sale.
